Someone with my skill level (pretty much just a consumer as far as Linux products are concerned) finds it easier to take the SD card to the PC, back it up, then return it to the Pi than start on the path to discover what "rsync" and "cron" mean. I tried using Filezilla and WinSCP to copy the files over the network to my PC, but they both failed, apparently because of permission issues. At that point I was once again out of my depth so returned to the familiar route. Is there an easy-to-follow set of steps that one could follow to achieve what you have done?
